Trump's Enemies Within

[DonViejo]

February 3, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

Politico: “Donald Trump, a self-professed Nixon admirer, is learning this history lesson about the presidency in real time: His most dangerous enemies are people who ostensibly work for him. Modern presidents always feel hectored by the news media and harried by opposition legislators. But mortal threats to their power typically come from hostile forces inside the executive branch.”

“The phenomenon has rarely been on more vivid display, with Trump buffeted by an unprecedented barrage of leaks about his decision-making and direct challenges to the decisions themselves—a new example coming almost daily—from within the permanent bureaucracy of government.”

4. He's no doubt got a paranoid streak.

It comes with extreme narcissism. Part 'n' parcel ya might say.

All these leaks and really any mention of trust, betrayal and the like in regard to Team Tinyhands remind me of the old wisdom; those who do not trust are not trusted.
